Synopsis

Bridges to Contemplative Living with Thomas Merton gently leads participants on a journey toward spiritual transformation and a more contemplative and peace-filled life. Each eight-session booklet provides an introduction to Merton and contemplative living through prayers, readings from Merton and other spiritual masters, and questions for small group dialogue.

In Traveling Your Road to Joy, participants examine joy in its innumerable facets. Joy is not a reward for our practice but is always a no-strings gift of the Holy Spirit, mediated through all the events of our lives. It is not a state of being, but the whole-hearted embrace of the divine presence.

Review

"The Bridges dialogues have brought many to a spiritual awakening. The particular technique helps participants touch a part of their lives that makes the experience unforgettable. These conversations have the capacity to make Merton's charism concrete." ----Rev. Damien Thompson, O.C.S.O., Former Abbot and Guest Master, Abbey of Gethsemani
